Ford - A Roadster "NO RESERVE" - 1928

This Ford A is an original ‘Roadster’ model with the teo front seats and original ‘dickey seats’ provided as option. It was fully restored by a pre-war enthusiast in the early 1990s and since then, it only had one owner until today, for over 30 years it was kept in a private collection. Now it shows a beautiful patina of originality. It received recently a service to the front brakes with new drums and cylinder kit and new brake shoes from the USA (as shown in photos) . The electrical system was changed into 12V. Whitewall tyres in nice condition. Original engine in working order, the car starts immediately, the gearbox is smooth and the steering is solid. It can be used, however it may need some care; the last technical inspection expired in 2015. The bodywork and chassis are very sturdy, it was always kept indoors in a garage in a private collection. In 1994, it was ASI approved (Automotoclub Storico Italiano) as a vehicle of historical importance. With European (Italian) documents ready for the transfer of ownership or export, which is interesting because this allows you to register the car easily. It is also a great opportunity to turn it into a Hot Rod, street food truck, exhibition, USA rallies, since it already has European documents in order and a solid starting base.
